Manchester City’s dream of winning a treble this season came alive after the Citizens defeated Everton by 3-0 away at Goodison Park.
The Goodison Park crowd was in fine voice from the start, looking to build on the momentum from last weekend’s stunning 5-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. The hosts started well and were able to frustrate City until two quick-fire goals took the game away from them.
Ilkay Gundogan o[ened scoring for the visitors with a delightful piece of skill in the Everton box inside 37th minute two minutes after Erling Haaland jumped very high in the box to head home the second goal for City,
Upon resumption of the second half, Gundogan again curled home a perfect free kick from the edge of the Everton box to secure the victory for his team.
It was a perfect afternoon for Pep Guardiola’s side, who managed to rest the likes of Jack Grealish, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva ahead of Wednesday crucial Champions League clash with Real Madrid at the Etihad.
The result meant Everton are still rooted in the relegation dug fight with just slightly placed on 16th position of the English Premier League.
Already relegated Southampton are lying on the 20th position, while Leicester City, Leeds occupy the 19th and 18th position respectively.
